[QUOTE="Singed, post: 605072, member: 6261"] My first pipe was my father's last. My father smoked pipes until he got dentures at 40. After snapping a tooth out of his upper plate on two separate occasions, he gave it up - too expensive to repair his dentures and he couldn't clench without his teeth. Eight years later I rifled through his junk drawer and lifted his Brigham straight apple when I went off to University. I lived on campus and there were four or five pipe smokers living in residence there. We would meet regularly to watch Star Trek reruns in the common room on Sunday mornings and bullshit. I burned that pipe to a cinder. The first pipe I bought was a big BC bent bulldog from Hudson's Bay Company, in downtown Winnipeg. There was a tobacco shop on the second floor, it was where my father went most regularly. All that is closed now. When my father passed in 2015 I buried a pipe with him, a Brigham straight apple. I bought this one to remember him. [/QUOTE]
